- Description
- Investigates free indirect discourse in GP, focusing on Chaucer's personae, the variety of his narrative positions, and their “focalisations” internal and external to the diegesis of the poem. Comments on focalization in the descriptions of the Wife of Bath and the Physician, and on free indirect discourse as a “sub-type” of focalization in those of the Monk and the Parson.
